Turn Signal Issues 63 Valiant
Well I yanked out all the melted wiring and ended up being about 4 wires that fused together. I replaced the wiring and when I wrapped everything back up I kept the amp meter wiring out of the loom. It was the black amp meter wire that was cooked the worst.
In the end the yellow/black stripe wire, the grey wire, the green wire, the black with white stripe wire and the 10guage amp meter black wire were cooked. I was shocked to see a 5 wire taped splice behind the dash but it is just what is in that mads article. Going to have to do away with that asap.
I buttoned everything back up, cleaned the bulk head connector, cleaned the tabs where the red and black 10 guage wires go through and started it up. The signal light issues is gone. The amp meter was good then it spiked so i shut the car off and hooked my mulitmeter to the battery and restated. It showed 17v at the battery and the field wire on the voltage reg would sit at 3v then spike off the scale and come back down.
The other issue is now I have to hold the ignition switch in the run position for the car to run. Never had to do that before....wiring or switch? Anyway to test it? I am looking for a manual and a wiring diagram as I type this....
